Tasty Bite

Tasty Bite is a range of consumer packaged goods, of pre-prepared ready to eat, all-natural Indian and pan-Asian cuisine.

The products range from traditional Indian dishes such as a Channa Masala to fusion items such as the Tofu Corn Masala. The products require no cooking, contain no preservatives, require no refrigeration, and can be used as a main dish or a side or entrée dish. Tasty Bite products are available in every state in the U.S. and are sold in most major grocery chains in the international/Asian foods aisle. In August 2017, a majority of the owner company of Tasty Bite was acquired by Mars, Incorporated. [1]

Packaging

With the use of a multi-layer long Shelf life retort pouch, Tasty Bite products remain fresh for 18 months. During the manufacturing process, food is filled into these pouches, after which they are sealed and cooked to a finish in a retort oven under high temperature and pressure. The sealing and construction of the pouch ensure that no bacteria or other degrading factors can affect the food – it is sterilized inside the pouch. This process also ensures a high retention of the food's original aroma, texture, nutrients, and flavor. The pouches are BPA free. The Tasty Bite product line is manufactured at its plant in Bhandgaon, about 68 miles outside of Pune, India. The vegetables used are grown in a private farm owned and managed by the company.
